Amazing way to keep kids artwork safe and not take up space. Kids can help add titles as well for their work. Great customer service- always reach out right away. Wish a bit less expensive.

Love that your kids got to title their art pieces! Thanks for the kind words about our team, and we appreciate the feedback on pricing.

I have used Artkive for the past two years to culminate my son's Preschool and Kindergarten experiences, and could not recommend them enough! The thought and care that they put into every single picture, and piece, is truly unmatched. My son still goes back and looks through his school work and the conversations we have as a result of them have been priceless. Thank you for all you do!

Preschool and Kindergarten, captured in two books he still loves flipping through! Hearing that his artwork sparks those conversations at home means so much to our team. Thank you for trusting us with these memories, and we can’t wait to see what First Grade brings.

I really love the Artkive book, and I was so happy to receive it. However, I noticed that three of my son’s artworks were included under my daughter Luna’s name. Even the names written directly on the artwork are visible, so it’s clear that those pieces belong to my son. I didn’t realize during the photo review that the names would appear at the bottom of each artwork in the final book. I wish there had been an option to alternate the artwork between my children or a way to review the names before the book was finalized. Other than that, I really love how the book turned out. I just wanted to bring this to your attention because I’d really like the artwork to be correctly attributed to each of my children.

We’re so glad you love your book, and we’re sorry to hear that three of your son’s pieces ended up labeled under Luna’s name. We understand how much it matters that each child’s artwork is credited correctly. Please reach out to our support team with your order number so we can look into this and help make it right. Thank you for the thoughtful suggestion about reviewing names before a book is finalized. We’ll share it with our team.

I loved the idea but was surprised how costly it would be. I should have done my research.
Response from ArtkiveJul 8, 2026
We're glad the concept resonated with you, and we hear you on the cost. Each piece is handled with real care and craftsmanship, which factors into pricing. Happy to answer any questions before your next order.

I think that this is a fantastic idea; my husband introduced me to it and I’m glad that he did. I do think that the price is a bit too high because let’s be honest, our kids create a lot of art. I felt as though the communication was spot on, although delivery time was slow and I think there are some hiccups with arranging pick up on the site. My only complaint about the books that I received was that some of the writing was hard to read, meaning too light. The consumer has the opportunity to do any edits they’d like and request changes but I didn’t feel the need to do so because everything looked so good. However, when I received the final books I absolutely loved them, but like I said quite a few pages were hard to read.

The process was easy and the end product was even better than expected. The only critique I have is that it would be nice to receive confirmation of receipt of the items we send in. I was stressed when I didn’t hear anything for almost 3 weeks. Otherwise great experience.
